A Special Phone app: EYES-FREE Adaptive Keypad!!

You can simply touch your finger anywhere on the screen, and the application will tell you which number you are touching. When you find the number that you would like to use, you simply tap in it's place and it will dial that number! If you do not need eyes free dialing, you can use the keypad just as it is and tap away at the number just like the basic iPhone dialing application.

As you tap the numbers in both "eyes free" mode or regular mode, the application will speak the number and show a much larger number on the screen for those who can see, but are best off with larger images and numbers. Those who need vision correction as well as the eldery will greatly benefit from this great new feature.

Since when does making a phone call need to be such a task?! Retarded!!

[aspecialphone]

Close your eyes and try to make a phone call then let us know if it's such a task or no.

its called voice activation, geniuses

[aspecialphone]

"A Special Phone" app relies on the iPhone accelerometer as well as on the voice and haptic feedback not on voice activation which is only available on iPhone 3GS.

EPIC Fail

1. A blind guy would not get an iphone how would he unlock it? (don't say the obvious)

2.What would a blind guy be doing with 4 pages of apps hes fucking blind.

3.Wouldn't voice command work?

4.What does a blind guy walking around and shaking a phone look like. (funny)

5.Lots of other reasons

It's actually very easy, because my phone has buttons to push. Finding the numbers I need is very easy (like typing on a keyboard). Touch screen makes it more difficult since you can't feel the numbers. But that just furthers my question, since when does making a phone call need to be such a task?! Before touch screen, you could feel the buttons you were pushing. No problem. Now that you can't feel the buttons, they have to invent a complex series of shakes, etc just to make a call.

Blind people do not need touch phones...

[ohnzee]

a blind person would buy a nokia phone with these same features.. and not the iPhone. BTW all the features here are available on a nokia phone for the blind..
